The Korean script says "bandegi" give or take. Korean has more complex & varied vowels than I'm used to transliterating. All you really need to know is that it stands for "silkworm chrysalis" or pupae.

Bandegi Shots

When Bros Icing Bros becomes passe, I think we all know what the next self-abusive drink of choice will be.

did you arrange them in appealing hors d'ouevre after the fact? and if so were you tempted to try them that way? seriously i think pairing one with a little pickle might have made it easier to manage. no i'm not going to try it thank you just the same.

After the fact. I hate to let ersatz food go completely to waste so we tried to imagine what would make bandegi appear edible. If we'd had some whipped cream, I'd love to know if they look any better with a dollop on top.

This is on par with what I'd have to do to complete this task. Kudos to you for not only finding such a frightening food, but going through with completion. Bonus points for the hors d'oeuvres, if I could.
